That is one creepy BUGger!
With some attitude?
Badum tsss
Exotics Lair are you proud of yourself? You shouldn't be...
Exotics Lair you are my fav RUclipsr
It really was a wet dream
What it's Sunday not Monday but idm love watching the vids
Same I was confused as well
I'm not a spider person at all like I have really bad arachnophobia but I love watching your vids it makes me have a better appreciation for them so thank you
I kind of hate them , but I also kind of love them.
They're so creepy, but they're so cute.
"Naughty naughty..." xDD i love you man. I legit hatted Ts, and now...I'm getting one soon!
It kinda looks like it wants to steal the krabby patty secret formula
One year, I don’t know if they were migrating or what, but the gas station down the road for weeks had hundreds of these swarming the lights at night. I know how bad they bite, you will bleed and it is a deep pain. Needless to say I chose a different place to get gas.
I was caring one when i was young, but it died because of deep water
Mystery creature???... (Which is in brackets in the title of the video)
Time to get some gold fish
What do they eat?
Not only can they bite (and its extremely painful) but they can FLY. Truly terrifying.
This 👆 they hurt like super bad like really really bad lol I was bit by my hmac and it wasn't as bad
Hehehehe oops
I've always loved spiders of all kinds. You as well as Tarantula Kat have inspired me to want to start collecting and caring for them.
Yeah I used to hate spiders and actually have severe arachnophobia from having panic attacks when I was a kid because of bad dreams, but because of your videos I’ve actually began thinking of getting my own one! Also your videos are so informative and help me escape whenever I get really depressed, I always tune in and it helps calm my anxiety and just keeps my thoughts silent for a little bit! So yeah just wanted to say thanks and say you also help me with my anxiety and depression too! (Also changed my perspective on spiders completely)
Denisa Chadwick you should look at getting one. I hated spiders before watching the dark den but not just spiders it's changed the way I see a lot off different bugs
Just be careful though I've only been watching for a year and now I have 5 tarantula and 3 scorpions haha
same happened to me. 2 or 3 years?, currently about 30 species, its a addiction. went from panic reaction to thats an adorable threat posture.
I love this! As a former arachnophobe I too have overcome my fears of spiders, help them out the house most times and see them with a different eye. Wanted to get one but my husband refused. Maybe one day.
@@cornishtt my wife refused so I bought 5 now she loves them too
Ok love might be a bit strong she tollorates them but likes to watch them and watch me feed them
My best friend has a pretty strong arachnophobia but they refused to watch the videos :/ I was kinda hoping it could ease the way cause we are planning to move in together and I´m already googling nice tarantula set-ups xD Tried showing them a feeding video cause those are always awesome but nah. They have two cats so I also have to cat-proof the encolsure somehow, anyone got tips for that? I don´t think keeping them seperate would work and idk if they they climb stuff yet, they´re still kittens
Lolz Exotics Lair is so jealous right now. I bet he wishes he could use that kind of water dish👏👏👏😂😂😂
Lolz you're a bitch
Kayleigh Robertson: Dude chill out, don’t act all tough on the internet
@@Kayzkutz dude it was just a joke lol. Edgy dude always aggressive
You brought a bug known for it's painful bite...rather you than me
This actually is NOT a Lethocerus sp. giant water bug, this is a Laccotrephes sp., which belongs to a different but closely related group of true bugs commonly called "Water Scorpions".
Care between the two groups should be pretty much the same, but as a rule of thumb I believe most water scorpions live longer and are also easier to breed than giant water bugs/toebiters. Water scorpions are also less voracious and like smaller prey items than Lethocerus.
@Declan Hegge Yeah, I think there are even Laccotrephes species in Australia, as well as other genera I'm sure. :) I remember catching a Ranatra sp. here in North America, was not aggressive at all and easy to handle as well. Hopefully Petko will see this!
Thats right Toebiters do not have tails
Is their bite as bad as a toe biter?
@@thezigrat561 there is a japanese video of a toebiter eating a small snake ......so i think the toebiter is worse , and is generally more agressive.
Anibal Matheus G so what is it a water scorpion? Or what
@@zulyaa4291toebiters are bigger and their tail ( which is where they breath through) is shorter and tends to be mostly inside his torax, as far as i know this is a water scorpion which is a close related species, i dont really mind the difference , but i know that toebiters are even more agressive.
This just confused the F@~k out of me. I was like, "Monday?". Nice surpise though, cheers bro! :)
It always makes me very anxious when he doesn´t check, if there´s more animals in the shipping box.
Just in case if there´s a freebie or whatever
He has said he doesn't accept live animals from outside of Croatia or something. Hoping people are respecting that! But I still expect it too lol
Sad Onion well, he previously got animals from Poland, Austria, england and maybe also other countries.
So idk about him only accepting croatian animals
This one is a major nope! Toe biters are an actual nightmare.
HobbitHabits/ Bri Bri that’s why they’re sooo awesome!,!!
Yea they're one of the few that i absolutely hate. Super nightmarish
Its not a toe biter, but a water Scorpion, a toe biter will make you scream for your mommy when it has bitten you
dave kessing it’s a toe biter, seeing the coyote Peterson video on being bitten was enough to jog my memory on the look of those guys. They’re very distinct.
dave kessing actually it looks like people are interchangeable using water scorpion for both. But I can assure you this is the toebiter one.
We need updates on aaaants ! :D
I adore your enthusiasm and the affection you have towards some of the usually fearsome looking creatures, you've really helped me appreciate certainly Spiders a lot more, so much so now when I discover a house spider I still have the knee jerk reaction of screaming whilst bouncing off the walls to get away, to watching it and giving it a name!!!! I either leave it alone. This is a huge change for me so I and Boris 1, 2 and 3 and so on (names of spiders) Thank you xx
I’ve been distracted by other stuff. So I have to say. And excuse my language. That fucking roach from weeks ago is still alive?!
Awesome little bugger :D !! All u need now is a snake ! woud love if you would get a Python Regius (Ball/Royal python) or a Pantherophis guttatus (Corn snake). Great beginner snakes, Cheers from Norway !
If your videos became the end of you.... it would be the end of the world! DD 4eva!!!!!! 🤣😜
I love how you take care of bugs and insects, made me laugh when suddenly you smacked down on a mosquito hehehe
I'm a vet student from Poland and I must say I'm scared of spiders, but these videos helped me a lot with my fear. I am still gonna stick with cats and dogs in the future but I will not run away when someone will bring a spider into my office :D Thanks for showing that spiders are really unicque animals and deserve to be treated with respect :)
you cant actually listen that well with that P.met timelapse. .you just get entranced by the molting XD
They look like the Reaper aliens from Mass Effect xD
that is not a giant water bug but a species of water scorpion. you can tell but the speed of how they walk on land and how their legs look like
Dear Petko, it's not Brachypelma vagans, it's Brachypelma epicureanum. You can distinguish them thanks to the "bald" spot on epicureanum abdomen. And also it's normal for this species to be brown at pre-molt.
This name is water scorpion my country is hungary and here this bug is very frequent
Everybody gangsta until the water bug starts flying.
Just add lots of live plants to the water bug tank. Some floating plants, and small anubias. And with the tank height above, you could add some marginal plants in small pots
Ever since I was little I have loved all types of insects and bugs with a passion including spiders, even though they scare the hell outta me. But because of your videos i’m starting to find a new respect for them. Thank you so much 😊 ❤️
That's not a Lethocerus sp. I have a Lethocerus africanus. Looks more like a water scorpion due to the long breathing tube.
Hey I'm finally early. Cool water bug. Excited to see it in future updates
No way did Petko just mention Brave Wilderness! I love Brave Wilderness 😂
you should have your own arachnid pet store!
It BREATHES from it's BUTT. Wow you really did it this time mother nature
sometimes i do that too xD
Where do you get your enclosures?
And what happened to the jumping spider?
He makes his own, has a few videos on him making them, they're pretty cool! Temporary enclosures look like just tuppers.
The new addition we've all been waiting for haha saw your tweet petko made me excited
Dark Den, be careful at night you dont know what its capable of. Cover your toes with blankets...
That’s why when I set up the tank for one I’m using a good lid. These things can fly and I’m not taking any chances.
Will u feed it fish?
Lucky us! A day early
“I don’t like the way you are looking at me” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I upload every Monday Wednesday Friday and sometimes Sunday hehehehehe
That toe bitter can give you a pretty NASTY bite jbtw
Wow that bug have a lot of possibilities to create different enclosures designs. The question is how create your own "swamp" without the bad smelling or other risks.
Genuinely thought i'd just missed a day at work when i got this notification. I had to check 3 times that it was Sunday not Monday HAHA!
Wicked toe biter. Also I can’t remember if u had an orange baboon tarantula 😂.
Sunday video???!!!!! HELL YEAH!!! 😎😁👌👍👍👍
I usually have to wait until Tuesday to see your Monday video so it was a pleasant surprise opening RUclips and seeing this lined up and ready to go! AWESOME!!!!
Weird colour stages are so interesting. I once had a B. auratum, who turned greyish-brown-salmon at a molting, instead of the bright red and deep black! What can cause it? o.O
Wow, water scorpion, it's super-nice, and easy to feed too! I have only small ones (they are not growing so big here), and they are having a good time. Now all that's left is to get great diving beetle. And yes, we need an update on assassin bugs.
I think at this point if I may.... it was your videos that made me buy my first curly hair tarantula in June of 2018... I now have 22 lol. I was terrified of tarantulas saw just how awesome they were from your videos and you were the first tarantula/exotic pet owner I subscribed to on RUclips. Now I’m on a lot and I follow yours weekly still.. I’m from Indiana here in the states. And just Incase your curious on what my newly found collection consist of..
I have 6 slings 1/2inch to 11/2 inches and the other 16 are all juveniles
I got my curly hair
1st curly, 2nd rose hair, stripe knee, curly hair again cus their great eaters, then rose hair again which is the sibling to my other rose hair, then Mexican blonde, another stripe knee, then 3 pink toes... 1 is avic avic the other 2 or Avicularia minatrix, so now at 10... I got Mexican red knee, then Goliath bird eater only 51/2 inch female, salmon pink bird eater, then I went to an expo and all on the same day I got .... 2 blue foot baboons, Indian ornamental, ornamental baboon, Trinidad Chevron, Brazilian black and white, Chaco gold knee, Mexican red leg, and Asian fawn. Now that being said other then my 5 inch bird eater, my other 21 ts are literally 1/2 inch to 3 inch max and that 3 inch is my stripe knee everything else is 21/2 inch or smaller so I got everyone so I could grow with them. Rather then getting fully grown from the start. I must say by now we should be considered the “Dark Den Family” or Dark Den Universe... this is about so much more then just you, you have inspired many people with huge fears of spiders like myself to become avid collectors of the hobby. Thanks again and keep it up man.
Ethan Michael same story here from Wisconsin!
I just watched that Brave Wilderness vid......blokes Mad...And you don't want to get bitten by that Bug...OUCH !!!...Ha !
Beautiful black tarantula, the difference is day and night literally
As I was preparing a new enclosure for my youngest, I found a little bookscorpion yesterday. Not really scorpions, but spiders with adapted front legs, they are really cool in spite of their diminutive size. I would have filmed it, but it scurried away someplace in all of yesterdays chaos. Great video as always.
8:35 Mr.Fantastic!
I see you're a fan of Brave Wilderness too. I actually had no idea these were even a thing until that episode. That's awesome to see them in the hobby, pretty jealous
I just recently started watching you and I really enjoy your videos, it's fun to keep them going while I'm working on the computer. Please keep it up... I've always loved spiders and I'm so sad that here in Iceland, tarantulas are illegal. I would really love a few but at least I can enjoy seeing them through your stuff!
Those things are real nasty, their bite is apparently incredibly painful and i think maybe venomous?
Darkden is really amazing it hepled me overcome my fear of spiders thank you
Unboxing is always exciting :D i love it :D
4:40 for what you came here to see
I love how you and Exotics Lair are creator buddies! I found him first and then he recommended your channel and I'm so glad! You both truly love your animals! It's wonderful to watch!
Im also afraid of spiders
But jumping spiders are CUTE very very CUTE (only spiders im not afraid of)
I began questioning what day it is when i saw this vid. Thought i might of missed work!
That's an interesting creature, never seen one before. It reminded me of those tailess scorpions. Cool critter and great vid.
Whaaaaat 00:01 Petko uploaded a vid... AWESOME
When I lived in Texas we used to get those in our apartment!! Huge!!
Pozdrav Petko, ne želim da budem neki davež ali mislim da je došlo do male zabune kod identifikacije vrsta, i da ovaj Toe-biter je zapravo nešto iz familije Neptidae, a prave Giant water bugs su familija Belostomatidae. Svakako poklonu se u zube ne gleda, ali mislim da trebaš i nju obavestiti da ju je neko loše informirao. Dobra stvar je da u hrvatskoj je česta vrsta Lethocerus patruelis, naraste oko 9cm dužine, i pravi je monstrum, kad budeš išao prema primoriju, možda možeš uloviti kojeg. :) Izvini na smaranju, sve naj!
YOU WATCH CYOTE PETERSON!??!? YAY I loved you before but now we're best friends.
A Toe-Biter... yeah. Stick with tarantulas plz. Tarantulas I can handle but Toe-Biter's I will kill!
Aqui no Brasil é cheio desses Hemiptera. Não sabia que vocês gostavam desses bichos. HAHAHAHAHA
Coyote peterson has taught me that you DO NOT wanna get bitten by that thing
Hey Dark Den, make some more fantastic Egyptian Predatory Beetle Feeding videos. U r the best and the awesomeness!!!!!!
Super video kao i uvjek! P.S pokusavam nabavit odraslu zenku Aphonopelma chalcodes. Da li mozda znas gdje da se obratim? Trazio sam na spidersworld eu i spidershop uk i nema ih. Pozdrav iz Čakovca!!
Omg...... i actually find this one in my fish pool.....and i tried to grab it with my hand......almost died....😂😂
Oh crap, he’s got a new intro! It’s been so long since the last time I watch a video of his.
I Never liked Trantulas, and thought keeping them was kinda 'lame/ not for me.
But, after watching 1 video of yours, that showed up in a search for Ant videoes.I was instantly a fan, of you and after binging on videos for 5 days now.
I have ordered a Brachypelma Hamorii juvenile (5cm), food, and a starter tank set up from The Spider Shop, UK. and am planning to get a juvenile Grammostola Pulchra and set up, as soon as they have them again
BE CAREFUL! They give a very painful bite. So, keep using those tongs lol. Other than that, enjoy 💯✊🏽.
Will you still upload a new vid tomorrow on Monday.
I have to admit Petko, I never thought I'd have a spider as a pet until I seen your videos. Now i have two! G. Pulchripes and B. Vagans. Keep up the positive viebs man,!
How do you feed all your animals!!!😁😀😎from AUSTIN REESMAN DRAGON man👹😈😡
Petko: *Spoiling mystery animel in title and thumbnail*
Me: Excuse me what the fuck?!
That is very cool. Though I did chuckle to myself about the water as well. I couldn't help thinking that Exptic Lair had to be sitting their going. YESSS
Hey Petko. I really love your channel. Thanks for uploading regulary! Are you ever gonna get a Trapdoor-Spider? I think that would be a really cool asset! Loving greets from Berlin, Germany :-)
PO Box 9226 terra bella , CA 93270 need jumping spider
The snorkel was kinda neat. Interesting bug. You mention Exotics Lair a lot. I watch both of you daily.
I'm not sure if you can find water bugs of this size in Croatia,but where I live,in Greece,you can find specimens up to 11cm,many times holding frogs on their proboscis.They are just like the assassin bugs.
like the Mantid zine. I like Spiders, I love Scorpions but when it come to the world of "bugs" my #1 is always the mantis (well, Stick-Insects are pretty sweet too). I'll have to check out that 'zine sometime
I live in Australia and I absolutely love your vids
Oooooow these thing freaked me out when I was a kid. Both water beetles and water bugs. We call this a water scorpion. Brrrrrr... Trying to catch tadpoles and salamanders, and then finding these bugs in your net. 😬
You've got too many comments on your last video you probably missed my comments so I thought I'd say it here too cos I really want to know (btw, cool new animal!) --
Hi Petko! Another great video, love it. I've been following your channel for awhile now and have always been interested in your enclosure builds. I'd love to know the dimensions for your rufilata enclosure as I will be getting one next week. Hope you see this and will be able to reply. Thank you! ❤
Nothing but respect for you, Petko, but why would you tweeze that poor thing like a common feeder roach? It was very clearly in distress.
Do not let the bug bite you it really hearth
I've seen pick up trucks run over those things, and they just get up and walk away! :O Totally thought it was going to grab the tweezers and pinch you back! LOL
